During her sentencing at the court, Mendoza, while weeping has said an apology to the families of the victims. They were all present, crying and wearing t-shirts printed with the girls’ faces. 

They answered each individually saying that her apology will not bring the two girls back and it will not change anything.

Paul Walker died after crashing

Paul Walker, one of the main stars of the Fast and Furious film franchise, died after a major car accident where the car he was in crashed at a hight speed and burst into flames, according to the coroner's report. 

Walker, 40 years old was found dead with his friend and financial adviser Roger Rodas on the 30th of November in a burntPorsche Carrera GT in Los Angeles.



The coroner's report said that Walker died of the many effects of traumatic and thermal injuries but Rodas the one who was actually driving the car died of multiple traumatic injuries. They found no signs of any drugs or alcohol in their bodies.



Kristy McCracken, the investigator for the Los Angeles coroner, explained how the car was driving at unsafe high speed in a wrong direction. "For an unknown reason the driver lost control of the vehicle and the vehicle partially spun around and began to travel in a south-easterly direction."



"The vehicle then struck a sidewalk and the driver's side struck a tree and then a lightpost. The force of these collisions caused the vehicle to spin 180 degrees and it continued to travel in an easterly direction," the report states.
"The passenger side of the vehicle then struck a tree and it then burst into flames."
The coroner added that the Porsche was found "totalled with major traffic collision damage all around and it appeared that the vehicle was almost split in half." 
Paul Walker was still filming scenes for Fast and Furious 7 when this accident happened. The film is now in all the movie theatres all over the world.
